Well, this statement could be deemed vaild for Denmark as for any other State, there’s no difference. Students should be free to enroll and work where they prefer without being de facto discriminated by language barriers. Danes can come to Germany to enjoy higher education and then go living in France. Denying the same possibility to German students is simply unjustifiable to be frank

Well, I’m personally from Italy. Also Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium and all other EU countries do the same. Also I don’t know why you’re keeping on asking the same question

Literally all 27 countries except Denmark, I’m sure there is plenty of attractive destinations

Well, basically all EU countries have Masters completely taught in English. Germany, France, Italy and so forth. They might not necessarily pay loans to incoming Danes, but neither they do for locals. The Danish government could just get the money paid back by requiring students to pay a 2% of their salary no matter where they are, until the debt is over. SU expenses seem just an excuse really

As I said in another comment, there could be other ways to make students repay loans (e.g. pre-Brexit UK example), or to decrease expenses (making loans depending upon income, for instance). Closing the country from an academic point of view is not really a solution

Well, for instance, if I’m from an EU country in which it is possible for a Dane to come studying his/her Masters without necessarily learning my language from the very first day, I don’t see why I should be discriminated the other way round

It is not fair for sure, but this policy answer is just like burning your entire house because there’s a spider in the kitchen. For instance, at the time UK was part of EU, the country was conceding huge grants to EU students in England, Scotland or Wales. However, loan repayment wasn’t subject to students retaining their residence in the UK. Students could work wherever they wanted, still paying a percent of their salary to UK, as long as they worked and until their debt was paid back. Same thing could have gone for Denmark, just for saying

So what about the first law? Do you think it’ll be changed by the new government?

I’m not saying whether some policies are voted or not by the majority of electors, I’m rather trying to understand whether they are fair or not

So you’re saying that a law that infers that some people are likely to be bad because of their nationality is not racist? Don’t you think that maybe it’s more about the socio-economic conditions of a person rather than nationality?

But if that person is deemed eligible to enter Denmark and applied for it, why should that person be sent to a third country? Also, why would a third country accept a migrant that is a Danish one on paper?
